December 10th Peter’s monthly quiz evening, held on Saturday 9th December, was based on a Christmas theme and had all members of the 12 teams present trying to recall the answers to questions on subjects such as Christmas Carols, Christmas television, films and chart hits from years gone by. At the end of the evening, Polly Evennett’s ‘Angel Delights’ were the very clear winners with 109½ points. In second place were Richard Holland’s ‘Tricky Dickies’ (96 points), with Allen Webber’s 'Short Planks' third (91 points) and Gill Daniel's ‘Janners’ in fourth (90½ points). T

he two prizes on offer for solving Peter’s Pantomime bonus round were claimed by Cass Thorne’s ‘Cassie’s Cronies’ and the Tricky Dickies. As well as winning the overall quiz, the Angel Delights rounded off a successful evening by winning the Jackpot, together with the 12 bottles of wine that went with it.

NOVEMBER REPORT

November 2017 Quiz Peter’s monthly quiz evening, held on Saturday 18th November, attracted a near full-house of 13 teams who were all keen to see what our quizmaster held in store for us this month. After a pleasant evening of thinking, drinking and humour, the winners were the Short Planks with 90 points, closely followed by the Newcomers with 89 points. In third place were Mac’s Lot with 88, the Weakest Link were fourth with 87 and Cassies Cronies were fifth on 86½ points. In fact, so close were the final scores that there was only a 7 point difference between the first and ninth placed teams. D.C.’s Crew won the prize for being the least number of years out on the ‘Guess the age of the Carry On Stars’ round and a further prize for scoring the most points on their Joker round. Both Mac’s Lot and the Tricky Dickies won prizes for being able to name the most Kings and Queens who were on the Throne during notable dates in history. Unfortunately, all the teams were out of the Jackpot by round five which means it will now be rolled over to next month, with an additional three bottles of wine to be added.

OCTOBER REPORT

On Saturday 28th October, Peter held his first quiz of the winter season at the club. A full house of fourteen teams took part on the night, with all members eager to pit their wits against Peter’s ten challenging rounds of questions. At the end of the evening, the ‘Angel Delights’ were the winners with 93½ points, just half a point ahead of Veronica Coe’s ‘Newcomers’, who finished in second place with 93 points. Third place went to Di Greeno’s ‘Mac’s Lot’ with 89 points.

It was an interesting evening for the Jackpot, with all fourteen teams still in contention after round three, but a tricky question in round four saw 12 of the teams dropping out, followed by the two remaining teams in round five. There will now be nine bottles of wine on offer to a successful team in November. Colin Chudley’s ‘Colonists’ won the Cliffhanger round and the prize for the team who scored the most points in their Joker round was shared between Peter Baker’s ‘Weakest Link’ and Anne Tarr’s ‘Who’s Oo’. In a special Halloween round, where we had to select which were genuine pumpkin varieties from a list, three teams correctly identified 13 of the sixteen types and were awarded the following prizes: A Halloween DVD to ‘Cassies Cronies’, a white pumpkin to the ‘Short Planks’ and an orange pumpkin to the ‘Tricky Dickies’. Everyone is now looking forward to the next quiz in a month’s time.

Many thanks,

Maurice .
